This book contains three sermons by Rabbi Isaac S. Moses: "The True Self," "Man and Humanity," and "Right Opportunities." Published in Milwaukee in 1886 by Congregation Emanu-El, this first edition is printed in English with the second sermon also appearing in German. The sermons explore themes of self-discovery, humanity's potential, and the importance of seizing opportunities. Rabbi Moses, a prominent Reform rabbi, served congregations in Quincy, Illinois; Milwaukee; and Chicago before leading Central Synagogue in New York. He was a founding member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and played a significant role in developing Reform Jewish liturgy.
